Application forms must be received at the Fishlake National Forest office, by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, April 10, 2009. The RAC consists of 15 members representing a wide range of interests. The committee’s duties include reviewing proposed land management projects on or adjacent to the Fishlake National Forest. The committee recommends which projects to fund and is responsible for coordinating with land management agencies and county officials. Projects may be located in Juab, Millard, Sevier, Beaver, Piute and Wayne counties. The four-year term would begin upon appointment by the Secretary of Agriculture. Committee members serve without compensation, but may be reimbursed for travel expenses. Members must be Utah residents, preferably living in Juab, Millard, Sevier, Beaver, Piute and Wayne counties. Meetings are held at least once during the year. The 15 members of the Fishlake RAC are split equally between the following three categories. There may also be a non-voting replacement member in each category. The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture will make the appointments to the RAC based on the applications received, striving to appoint members who have demonstrated the ability to work collaboratively with others of different viewpoints.
